I have recently found this creaking sound coming from the strut and wheel support area of the front driver side of the car. Recent activities include..
-installed an invidia gemini catback system
-cleaned engine bay sprayed down with simple green degreaser
-plasti dipped my wheels (off the car)
So that's all i could think that would pose this new problem unless something is finally breaking down. I've been looking around to find the issue and most of what i come up with is struts going back, tie rods inner or lower, some bushing somewhere is going bad, and a few others that i dont think are the issue. Took a video of the sound, how faint it might be. It's pretty loud in person. Turning while under 10 mph are very creakish with a sort of compressed sound. Like expansion of support pieces. Anyone have any leads on this issue?

Following...I have the same problem but on the passenger front side. I was told possibly a bent control arm but I havent had it professionally looked at yet.

I watched the video 4 times with my volume up...didnt hear it...at what time in the video does the sound start?

It got worse today but started thudding cyclically.. then once i saw it went away when i hit the breaks hard i had an idea.. got out of my car.. twisted lug nuts... loose as #$^@. tightened them down good to go. lol sorry guys. appreciate concern regardless.
Garner. i also have another creaking sound from my rear passenger. It does it when i initially gain momentum accelerating and decelerating. It is probably bushings by the sound of mine. Try going out and lubing your bushing and see what happens. A lot of Z's have that creaking sound almost like tension between some joints right when you press the gass/break.
